The entire internet hyped itself up on the assumption of "Well, if it's about Sam Hyde it'll still be fucked, but there's actual material to work with on him. If it's on Ethan it'll just be proof he's cucked so it must be on Sam Hyde!"
Someone somewhere (maybe this thread? I forget) said, "Man how can you slide so far to the left that you do this shit." and I gotta say, nah, this isn't a slide into leftism, this is just straight up being cucked to Hasan. I guarantee it's got nothing to do with actual politics.
And for those of you who doubt my assertion on the basis of "would someone really go to all that trouble based off so little a reason?" I'll remind you of two recent examples:
* that one black vtuber asshole who basically tried to do 2 "You're all racist!" video essays that were just thinly veiled rageposts about Calli having a rap career while he didn't
* that one guy who tried to VideoEssayCancel Wendigoon and later basically admitted he's just jealous because they're both Appalachian and he doesn't have Wendigoon's success.
